Hannah is 20 months.
She is almost two, that sounds crazy.
The past two years have gone so fast.
She is growing so much and is such a blessing.
She is learning new things daily. She can speak many more words now and it's getting easier to understand what she wants. I'll be excited when we can converse and I'll know exactly what she wants. She has started whining a lot which drives us both crazy but we are trying to nip that in the butt quickly before she gets too far with it. She doesn't know how to put two words together and its a little slower learning in general because I am trying to speak only German words...I don't know many so that trips me up. We are really trying to only speak German to her. We've ordered some more bilingual books for me to learn more words. She said ketchup yesterday after being asked to say it only one time. We were pretty impressed. She is picking words and mannerism's up very quick. She points to many things and is a sponge for learning.
Making a Christmas gift for Grandma and Grandpa
Proud of her big girl bed...this only lasted about a week and the rail was put back up.
We'll try again later!--She was so excited about it though.
She
loves to carry her baby around, put mega blocks together, look at books,
play on her kitchen, serve tea, run around and just be where mommy is
whether that is doing laundry--pulling clothes out of washer and into
dryer, baking or cooking dinner. She loves to help. She loves to carry big things around, especially her chairs.
She also can identify her eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hair, fingers, hands, feet, belly button and chin. She loves to play the, "Where is?" game and she will have fun finding everything asked to find.
She loves any kind of music and will begin clapping and bending at the knees in a nodding motion to dance. She chooses the songs for our family devotional at night and her favorites are still, "Big Round Sun" and "This Little Light of Mine".
She loves to give hugs and kisses.
She even sounds out the kissing sound, "mmmmmmmaaaa".
It's pretty sweet.
Hannah loves the cows. She can see them from her bedroom window and every morning she runs to the window and see the cows mooing. We take frequent trips out to visit. Recently she's been scared of them and clings to me for some reason. She also loves to hear the train sound and when she hears it, she looks up and tries to follow the sound.
She is very strong willed and we are learning now that we must be extremely consistent in our discipline. I must say that I never thought discipline would be "that" difficult. I know what we have chosen to do is very Biblical and we are on the same page but, it is still not easy. Please pray for us in this area. It is helpful that even after discipline, she always wants to hug. And we do, and I always tell her how much I love her, but she must obey!
She recognizes people now and becomes attached easily. She is attached to her Papa at the hip and anytime she is hurt, she always wants Papa. She also is very attached to her Grandparents. When we say we are going to, "Oma's house", she smiles from ear to ear...and has a hard time parting when it's time to leave. When we say we are going to call Grandma or skype she runs to the phone or computer to call. It's neat watching who she has become so attached to.
She enjoys coloring...taking the caps off the markers and back on.
She still has her blonde streak...both, one on top and one on her right side.
Hannah you are beautiful.
We love you so much. You add so much fun to our life.
We love your sweet and tender spirit and the zest for life that you posses.
We are so thankful to God that He has placed you in our care.
